The Ondo state Governor Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu has ordered the leadership of both National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) and the Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN) to vacate the motor parks for peace to reign.
Contrary to the reports making the round that the Ondo State Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu,SAN, has placed a ban on activities of the two unions in the state, the Governor wishes to make it clear that only the activities of the unions have been suspended.
This was contained in a statement signed by Mr. Olabode Richard Olatunde, Chief Press Secretary to the Governor of Ondo state
Governor Akeredolu suspended the activities of the union particularly at the motor parks, following security reports suggesting an imminent clash between the two opposing factions in the union over leadership tussle.
The Governor’s intervention becomes imperative so as to forestall possible break down of law and order.
“The Governor Akeredolu wishes to reiterate that he did not place a ban on the NURTW and RTEAN as unions but swiftly suspended their activities pending meeting with the two factions to hold presently. ”
“In the meantime, the leadership of both Unions have been directed to vacate the motor parks for peace to reign. ”
